Vin-Lyso Lysocide (Lysozyme) Powder.

Vin-Lyso is a Lysozyme which is a naturally occurring enzyme isolated from egg whites. Its principal use is to prevent growth of lactic acid bacteria and prevent or delay malo-lactic fermentation (MLF).  Vin-Lyso is an antibacterial agent effective against  many gram positive bacteria such as Oenococcus, Pediococcus and Lactobacillus. The use of Vin-Lyso can also enhance the effectiveness of additions of sulfur dioxide to achieve microbial stability in both red and white wines. Vin-Lyso can be used as an addition to unsound grapes to prevent the growth of lactic acid bacteria which can inhibit primary fermentation.  It can also delay or prevent malolactic fermentation (MLF) particularly at the juice stage when the onset of MLF can also inhibit primary fermentation.  It may also be added  prior to reinoculating a stuck or slow fermentation to inhibit the production of VA from the Lactic acid bacteria or to inhibit MLF onset in a bottled wine which has only partially completed MLF prior to bottling.
